11 Foods and Beverages to Avoid During Pregnancy

• One of the first things people learn when theyre
  pregnant is what they cant eat. It can be a real
  bummer if youre a big sushi, coffee, or rare
  steak fan.
• Certain foods should only be consumed rarely,
  while others should be avoided completely. Here
  are 11 foods and beverages to avoid or minimize
  while growing your little one.

• 1. HIGH MERCURY FISH
• Mercury can be harmful to your baby. Hence fishes
  like Tuna, Mackerel, Swordfish, Marlin should be
  eliminated from your diet during pregnancy. But
  fish is an amazing source of omega 3 fatty acids,
  proteins and other nutrients.
• Hence you can have low mercury fishes like
  Shrimp, Salmon, Catfish and Cod but in moderation.

• 2. Raw Fish
• Eating raw fish or raw shellfish increases the
  risk of contamination to your fetus. Hence it
  means NO SUSHI for 9 months.
• 3. Raw Eggs
• Raw eggs also have risk of harmful bacteria which
  is not healthy for your baby. So you have to
  sacrifice poached egg, egg benedict and some
  homemade salad dressings.
• 4. RAW MEAT
• Raw meat can contain salmonella, E. coli,
  Listeria and other harmful bacteria. Thus make
  sure your meat is properly cooked.

Foods and Beverages to Avoid During Pregnancy

• 6. ALCOHOL
• Though studies say a glass of wine will do no
  harm to the baby but why take risk. Its just 9
  months,
• so better to completely avoid alcohol as it can
  lead to fetal alcohol syndrome.
• 7. SUGARY FOOD
• Whether you are pregnant or not , a low sugar
  diet is always healthy. Eating a lot of refined
  sugar can lead to excessive weight gain which can
  further complicate pregnancy with gestational
  diabetes and pre-eclampsia.
• 8. CANNED FOODS
• Canned foods are bad not only because they are
  highly processed and contain large amount of
  salt, they also contain BPA- a chemical used for
  linning of the can which can cause birth defects.

• 9. UNHEALTHY FAT
• Basically stop running to fast food restaurant
  every time you have cravings. These foods have
  unhealthy saturated fat and are also old meals
  served after repeated heating. So say NO to
  burgers and buffets.
• You can have healthy fat like olive oil, avocados
  and even dark chocolates.
• 10. PAPAYA
• Papaya contains papain which causes uterine
  contraction and can lead to miscarriage and thus
  should be avoided in pregnancy.
• 11. PINEAPPLE
• Pineapple contains bromelain which causes
  premature labour and thus not good during
  pregnancy.
• So the key of a healthy pregnancy is a healthy
  diet and to avoid any food which can be harmful
  to your baby.
